MrBallen: 我讲述了一个关于牙医约翰·耶尔尼克被谋杀的故事。2006年4月12日，约翰结束了一天的工作，但他的生活并不平静。他正面临离婚，经济拮据，并且坚信有人要谋杀他。他甚至给律师寄了1万美元，以便在他突然死亡时进行调查。第二天，九岁的扎克·尤斯发现了约翰的尸体，他的喉咙被割开，现场一片狼藉。警察珍妮尔·莱迪克展开调查，发现约翰的离婚、经济问题以及与邻居梅丽莎·尤斯的可能婚外情都是潜在的线索。调查过程中，莱迪克对梅丽莎和她的丈夫汤姆进行了审问，但汤姆的反应非常可疑。尸检报告显示，约翰遭受了残酷的袭击，这与他生前的人品形成了鲜明对比。莱迪克决定不与其他警察机构分享她的调查，并将证据保存在警察局的冰箱里。她走访了约翰的牙科诊所，得知约翰的前妻米歇尔可能与此案有关，因为她有经济动机，并且与一名叫凯文·福利的警察有染。莱迪克对米歇尔和汤姆都保持怀疑，但她决定慢慢地进行调查，直到她有足够的证据。几个月后，梅丽莎·尤斯聘请了灵媒，这让莱迪克感到沮丧，但她还是允许他们进入约翰的家。灵媒的发现并没有提供任何有价值的信息。最终，约翰的家人向宾夕法尼亚州检察长办公室请愿，要求接管此案。莱迪克意识到她必须采取行动，于是她将冰箱里的指甲剪送往联邦调查局进行DNA检测。结果显示，凶手是米歇尔的男朋友凯文·福利。福利被判一级谋杀罪，米歇尔没有受到指控。莱迪克之所以能够破案，是因为她坚持自己的调查方式，并最终找到了确凿的证据。

Shownotes Transcript

One day in the spring of 2006, a detective stood next to a refrigerator in her police station, holding a little container full of evidence. She knew that what she was about to do represented a breach of protocol – but that wasn’t going to stop her. Because she was working her first murder case ever, and she was afraid she wasn’t going to be able to catch the killer. She had decided she was going to run her case her way – no matter what. She was supposed to send the container in her hand to the state crime lab for analysis. But she wasn’t going to do that. Instead, she placed the container in the refrigerator, and then shut the door.
